Ambivalent not implies strongly ambivalent
From Groupprops
This article gives the statement and possibly, proof, of a non-implication relation between two group properties. That is, it states that every group satisfying the first group property (i.e., ambivalent group) need not satisfy the second group property (i.e., strongly ambivalent group)

Statement
It is possible to have an ambivalent group (i.e., a group in which all elements are Real element (?)s) that is not a strongly ambivalent group. In particular, there is at least one element that is not a Strongly real element (?).
As a corollary, a real element of a group need not be a strongly real element.
Proof
Example of the quaternion group
Further information: quaternion group
The quaternion group of order eight is an ambivalent group. However, it is not strongly ambivalent, because the only elements of order are
, and these definitely do not generate the whole group.
Other examples
Other examples include special linear group:SL(2,5).
